Chapter 276: Attacking the Royal Capital (Medium)


Only a few live shells frightened the advance troops, and taking advantage of the opportunity, the King sped off and docked on the edge of the dock.KPA quickly disembarked from the warship, occupied and took control of the pier, and then began to move combat equipment and supplies such as heavy artillery, heavy machine guns and ammunition to the shore.More than a dozen cement steamboats then arrived, and the soldiers assembled in formation on the open ground near the pier.After Viscount Jarvis finished assigning tasks to the captains of each team, the military operation to capture the royal capital began immediately.…… Push back a little bit of time.On the eastern wall of the royal capital, knights and guards were busy preparing for the battle, carrying the necessary supplies, pulling down the arm of the trebuchet, etc.The one in charge of defending the East Gate is the Iron Knight, a veteran captain with a long and high status in the Royal Capital Knights.He walked over and pointed to one of the guards and ordered, "Go and bring a few more packets of explosive powder, these packs will soon run out." ”Explosive powder is the name given to black powder by the knights of the royal capital.Ever since the Royal Capital Magic Stone Research Association researched the recipe for black powder, it was soon discovered that in addition to being used on muskets, it was also a terrifying weapon in its own right.Otherwise, when White attacked Lion's Roar City last year, he would not have used the human bomb tactic, which would have worked wonders for the southern army who didn't know what black powder was.After some exploration, the knights of the royal capital have now learned to use trebuchets to throw explosive packets."

Yes!"

The guard nodded in response, then ran away.Boom!

Hearing a sound in the distance, the Iron Knight turned his head to look at the dock outside the city, the surface of the Ulshui River was shining in the sunlight, and a huge iron ship was slowly sailing towards the dock.Is there already a war over there?

Due to the distance, the Iron Knight could not see the battle situation on the docks, and just vaguely seemed to see a flash of fire at the front of the iron ship.There were a few more roars, and it wasn't long before the big iron ship was easily docked at the edge of the pier, and the soldiers on board disembarked one after another.Seeing this scene, the Predator Knight couldn't help but frown, a little angry."

What the hell is the advance force doing?

Why is it so easy for rebels to take the docks?

”It stands to reason that a musket team and a mage corps are strong enough, so can't the other party have more powerful weapons?

Thinking of this, the Iron Knight felt a little uneasy in his heart.Dawn City, which was called Frontier Town last year, has become more and more mysterious, and it is said that the muskets in the hands of knights are also made by imitating the opponent's weapons.In just over a year, why has Dawn City been able to change so dramatically?

The Predator Knight really couldn't figure it out."

How's the preparation?"

At this moment, an old man's voice came from behind the Iron Knight, which instantly eliminated the uneasiness in his heart."

Lord Sander!"

Turning around, the Predator Knight saw an old man dressed in a gold-rimmed magician robe, holding an ornate staff, with white hair and a wrinkled face, and hurriedly performed a standard knightly salute."

Everything is ready and waiting for you.""

That's good."

Sander nodded with satisfaction, and then said righteously: "The bold rebel dares to invade the royal capital, and I will go to the front line in person, so I will naturally use magic to help you repel the enemy." ”He is the most powerful magician in the royal capital and even in the entire kingdom, and has been appointed chief magician by the previous king himself, and has now served three kings, and his prestige is extremely high.The magic in the body has three attributes, namely water, earth, and fire, and has created many famous magic in the past, such as water mist explosions, lava eruptions, etc.Behind Sander was a group of young magicians, all of whom were excellent graduates of his teachings.One of the magicians stepped forward and said with great conceit, "With our great teacher Sander, the enemy will not even be able to touch the walls. ”"Of course."

The Predator Knight chimed in, "I believe in Lord Tander's magic, so it's no problem to defeat the enemy. ”It wasn't flattery, it was heartfelt, for he had seen Master Sander and other magicians work together to perform large-scale magic, and was deeply impressed by it.Not only the Iron Knight, but many of the royal knights had the same idea.Even though the knights of the royal capital had used muskets and seen the power of explosives, they still agreed with the principle of war in the past, that is, large magic could determine the victory of war.No one doubts this, they are trapped in the old way of thinking, and they will not be able to change it for a while."

Open the gates and let me in!"

Below the city, a knight of the advance unit ran over with a panicked face, his hands empty, and even his weapon was thrown away.Hearing this, the Predator Knight approached the city wall, leaned out his upper body and looked down, and asked sharply, "What's the matter with you?"

Why did not prevent the enemy's warships from coming to the shore. ”"It's horrible!"

The knight was so anxious that he was about to cry, and replied with a crying voice: "The enemy is too strong!

We're not rivals at all, I'm so scared, I'm going to find my mom ......"

"Bastard!"

”Sander also came over and accused: "As a knight of the royal capital, how can you be frightened by the enemy, you have simply lost the face of the knight!"

”"Then I'm not a knight!""

You!"

Anger instantly surged into his heart, and Sander was about to continue scolding, but suddenly there was a roar in the distance.Boom!

A cannonball flew at great speed from the direction of the dock, impartial, and just hit Sander from the front, and his whole body fell directly backwards, and his body was torn into several pieces on the spot."

Ahhh!!

hHelp me!

”Frightened by the sound of artillery fire, the knights under the city turned and ran away in other directions.The Predator Knight had just barely seen a black afterimage pass through his eyes, and he slowly turned his head to see the chief magician of the royal capital, Lord Tander, tragically dead on the city wall.A strange cylinder was embedded deep in the bluestone, and there was splattered flesh and blood all around, as well as the nearby Sander students and Predator Knights.They should be glad that it was a howitzer shell, but it was still a dud, so it didn't explode.At the same time, the artillerymen who were operating the guns on the battleship were wondering what they had done, and they did not see the explosion, thinking that the shell that had just been fired did not hit the city wall."

Ah!!

hAfter a moment of stunned reaction, Sander's students trembled involuntarily with frightened expressions on their faces."

Mr.

Sander is dead?!"

The Predator Knight turned his head in disbelief and stared blankly at the dock in the distance, the rebels were still far from the East Gate, why could they attack here?

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Immediately afterward, several fires flashed on the field, which were shelled by ground artillery units.Several shells fell on the city wall in turn, and successfully triggered the fuse, causing a huge explosion that shattered the city wall and rose into the air with clouds of flames and black smoke.Affected by the explosion, the dud bomb was also detonated, and the Predator Knight and Sander's students were killed before they could understand what was going on.Also detonated were some packets of explosives that had been carried onto the city walls, blowing up nearby guards along with trebuchets.Not long after the battle began, the Iron Knight in charge of the command was blown up, and the East Gate was soon thrown into chaos.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
